plate having a` siihilarly curved portion 17,

is secured in register over said portion l16,-

with integral downwardly extending and laterally turned ears 18, thereofI engaging in suitable recesses on each sidel of the portion 16, for securing said membersin rigid relation to receive a handle 5, therein. Said bottom portion 1', of the mop head is apertured, as shown at 19, and 20, for lightness.

The operationl is as' follows: When it is desired to secure the mop upon the mop head, the wire 12, is threaded through the recess 11, in thev mop, and the band 10, -of the mop is pressed into the groove of the flange 2, by means of the wire 12, vwith the end 14, thereof:l hooked over one end of said flange 2, at the gap. The lockingmember is thenA inserted over the wire end 13, which projects through the slot 7, 'as shown .in

Fig. 3, and with the ear' 6, of .said member bearing upon the .inturned ange d, as a 1 be threaded therein fulcrum` point. The Vmember 8, is then moved about saidtulcrum pointv and `over the extremity ofthe wall 2, on the opposite side of said'fgap, and then downwardly, permittin@r the end. 14, ofthe wire to engage through the slot 8, in said locking' member, whereby the same is rigidly retained in the gap. It is obvious that the pivotal move-A. mentof the locking member 3, about its fuif crum point, will drawthe end- .13, of the .wire along circumferentiallyand inwardly,

thus tightening the wire, around the flange wall 2, toei'ectually secure the mop thereon. The members 16, andl?, affording the engaging means for the handle 5., are stamped to afford threads whereby .said-.handle may and easily detached therefrom.

When it yis desired toclean the the0 end of the locking member .3, 'is disengaged from the hook'ld, and raised upwardly and allowed to swing outwardly, thereby re-v leasing the end A13, of said'wire 12and per,`

mitting the mop to f'be 'detached vfrom the grooved flange wall 2, and 'themop may then be washed and cleaned-or replaced` by a new one, as desired. l

1 am aware that details of construction may be varied to a wide range without departingffromlthe principles of this inven tion, and l therefore do not purpose limiting the patent granted otherwise than necessitated bythe prior art.

I claim as my invention:

gaging a mo 8. In a -devrcdiof flange.

Vdetachable locking member' adapted to engage said means and .tit within said gap to secure and lock the mop to the mop head.

3. In a device of the class describedA a flanged member having a gap in said ange, mop engaging means adapted to be secured around said `flange, and a pivotal, detachable locking member adapted'to engage said means to tighten'and lock the same' around 4.-. 1n a .device of the class describedn a mophead, a peripheral grooved flange extending partly therearound, a slotted lockn ing member, and a projecting ear thereon adapted to engage said flange during the attachment of said member to the flange of said mop head. l

5. ln a device of the class described, a

vmopf head having a grooved flangethereon provided with a gap therein, a wire adapted to engage in said grooved ange, and a slotted locking member adapted to engage the' ends of said wire to tighten the same againStsaid grooved frange and having a 4 lug forl securing .the locking member to said flange across the gap therein.

6. In a device of the class described a sheet metal mop head, anoutwardly grooved Harige extending therearound, a wire adapted to extend therearound and secure a mop thereto in said groove and locking means adapted to engage the ends of said wireand lock the same-to said nange. Y

'7. In a device of the class described. a mop head, an integral peripheral grooved flange extending therearound andv having a gap therein, and means closing the gap and ento said mop head around said grooved ange.
